doesn't normally allow that for the same release (it automatically removes the old version whenever it adds a new version), which is going to add some extra complications anyway, but I'll see what can be done.
Okay, I've beaten my head against this for a while and concluded that apt just doesn't want to allow this; of all the tools to build apt repos, all but one (aptly) claims to only support one version at a time of any given package, and I can't get aptly to work usefully, so I'm afraid this one may go unanswered.
I don't suppose having the script curl
the appropriate .deb file from the arkane-systems/genie releases page and then install it with sudo dpkg -i <filename>
is an option? That page should have installables for every version I release pretty much forever.
That's what I'm doing right now. It would have been nicer to get all packages through the same type of mechanism, but oh well, so be it.
Yeah, it's pretty intensely frustrating. The apt client tools look like they should be able to handle, but none of the repo-side tooling will do it. I've asked a few questions of people more knowledgeable than me on the topic, but don't holdout all that much hope, I'm afraid.

This change would be helpful, because - for example:
